Clyde Fischer Speaks at Skokie School Monday "How Life Begins," will be the subject of a lecture to be given by Dr. G. Clyde Fischer of the American Museum of Natural History of New York City, Monday afternoon, March 9, at 3 o'clock. The lecture will be given in the Jane Kuppenheimer Memorial hall in conjunc- tion with the showing of a film pictur- ing the reproduction of life in lower animal forms. This film was taken by George E. Stone, prominent biologist, and formerly director and photographer for the now defunct Prizma company, which produced color pictures. Stone's work in photo- graphy is well known to many of those who patronize the moving pictures. Willard W. Beatty, principal of the Skokie school announced that because of the way in which the subject was treated, it was an excellent lecture and film for the children to attend, and sent out letters requesting an expression from the parents regarding their opinion as to whether or not they desired that their children see the picture. It is Mr. Beatty's plan to allow the children to see it in groups if the parents signify their willingness. He extends an invitation to all parents to come and see the picture themselves. Notable Artists Attend Opening of Exhibition A very creditable and splendid collec- tion of paintings have been on view this week at Matz hall, Community House. The North Shore Art league, desiring to promote an appreciation of good art, and plan exhibitions and lectures for the public, invites all those who are in- terested to join and help promote its fine work on the north shore. On Thursday of last week the exhibi- tion at Community House was formally opened with a dinner at which four notable Chicagoans were guests of honor --DMiss Lena McCauley, editor of the Art Magazine of the Chicago Evening Post; Karl Kraft; M. Gros and Camp Curtis. Rudolph Ingerle, president of the league, gave a short talk, turning the meeting over to John Vennema, who was toastmaster. Prominent among the speeakers were Messrs. Peyraud, Brooks and Searles, the three deans of art in Chicago. The Art league expects to hold exhibi- tions in Wilmette and Highland Park in the neaer future.

Phone Winnetka 165 Dramatic Supervisor Is Librettist of Operetta Miss Douglass Whitehead, super- visor of dramatics in the Winnetka Public schools, is gaining wide recog- nition for her part as librettist of the operetta "The Stolen Flower Queen," characterized as a child's mid-sum- mer night's dream, the piece having had performances in nearly 200 schools throughout the country. The operetta has to do with the Flower Queen kidnapped by the evil King of the Woods only to be rescued after a venturesome time by the Boy Scouts. It has been described as a "delightful fantasy of unique delicacy and humor." Miss Whitehead spoke this week be- fore the English Club of Greater Chi- cago on the subject, "Is There a Creat American Drama?" Mrs. E. G. Trowbridge, 1111 Oak street, Winnetka, is president of the organization. Girl Basketball Squad Defeats Kenosha Team The North Shore Country Day girls' basketball team defeated Kem- per hall by the narrow margin of 26-25 last Saturday at Kenosha. North Shore felt handicapped by the fact]: that the Kemper gym is very small and also by the fact that the captain and an excellent guard were ill. The audience was tense with excite- ment because it seemed that up to al- most the end Kemper equaled every basket that North Shore made. Kem- per's spirit was so wonderful and their girls played so hard that the Winnet- kans feel that the victory means a PRESENT BENNETT PLAY A modern play in four acts, "What the Public Wants," by Arnold Ben- nett will be given by the Senior class of the North Shore Country Day school on Saturday evening, March 14, at 8 o'clock at the school. The play, written by Bennett in 1909, puts the still vital ethical question, "Shall we give the public what it wants?" The problem is discussed through situa- tions dealt with by the owner of sev- eral English newspapers, a Sir Charles Worgan, who is in favor of satisfying the public appetites for lurid articles, scandal, cheap popular half-truths, at any cost. His big thought is "It pays financially, therefore it is all right." Hard-headed, he yet has a side that makes him wish for the respect and regard of those who have different standards. The conflict between the people of his type and those of the other type in three big issues that come up in the play, states the two slants on the problem. Sir Charles, his two brothers, Fran- cis and John, and the girl Sir Charles most admires are all from the "Five Towns" of Bennett's novels. One sceng, is laid in one of the Five Towns, the others in London. As the play is seldom given, it is thought that residents of the north shore will probably be glad to see the production. The following seniors are in the cast: Lynn William, Mary Miller, Crilly Butler, Albert Grotenhuis, Frank Fowle, Ayres Boal, Elbridge Ander- son, Stewart Boal, John McEwen, Fuller Dean, Helen Shimmin, Louise Lackner, Elizabeth Lamson, Frederika Walling, and Susan Burlingham. The production of this play is in the hands of committees of students from the three upper classes of the high school, elected by the school Dramatic club, of which Marjorie Janney is president. "CHILD" DISCUSSED BY WINNETKA PARENTS Dr. Ralph Hamill spoke to the parents of the Lower school of the North Shore Country Day school, Tuesday evening, on the subject of "The Child's Adjustment to Authority." "Minding parents is giving in to physi- cal power for the parent is bigger than the child," said Dr. Hamill. "The early years of a person's life are those of mak- ing an adjustment to authority. Schools are places where the physical aspect of authority gives way to the gradual ap- preciation of the mental side of author- ity and the most important problem for the child is to maintain his self-confi- dence while he makes his adjustment. Many of the difficulties a child makes are due to his struggle to keep his self- confidence while making this adjustment. A child is naturally self-centered and selfish. His ego-centricity is thus being constantly thwarted. The child has to make his adjustments to two classes of authorities: the instinctive, for example, herd instinct ; and the conventional, which Otto Dovidat Ladies' and Men's Tailoring 794 Elm Street Over Vollmann's market.

The adolescent must gain independence; he must choose for himself ; he should have good models be- fore him but the final choice must be his own." That same evening eighth grade parents met in Dunlap hall where Dr. Paul Magnusson, one of the parents, led a discussion and gave a talk on the physical development of the child of this period, considered from an anatomical standpoint. He emphasized the intportance of correct posture, sitting and standing, in its effect on breathing, nutrition, and general de- velopment. You're Invited to Aid in Making Vets Happy Winnetka legionnaires will fare forth to the Great Lakes hospital Sunday, March 15, to provide a good time for the disabled veterans confined in the government wards.
